Shy Marchand sets the ball for Carly Neddo, right.
As an anxious Assistant Coach Morgan Smith watches, Raeley Portch rises to deliver the winning volley in the third set to put away the Brewster Bears 25-21.
The Raider volleyball team scored two wins this week to put them third in the Central Washington 2B League with a 9-5 win-loss record.
The Lake Roosevelt girls put away the Brewster Bears Oct. 19 in three sets on LR's home court on senior night, a label that applies to two-thirds of the varsity team.
LR bested Brewster 25-23, 26-24, 25-21, with displays of discipline and versatility.
Precision setting by Shy Marchand preceded several Carly Neddo kills like clockwork, a pattern that repeated with other duos through the contest, with the team unshaken even after the ref corrected the scoreboard, reversing a mistaken LR lead to favor Brewster 23-24.
The Raiders held the Bears there and won anyway, 26-24.
Coach Kasey Garvin said the "Brewster game was a great win for the girls, and it was a bonus that it was senior night."
LR took down Oroville on the Hornets home court last night (Oct. 24) in four sets, 25-8, 25-11, 23-25, 25-15. Riley Ayling had 14 aces in the game.
Lake Roosevelt will face Liberty Bell in Omak Saturday at noon in the 2023 District 6 2B Volleyball Tournament.
If they win, they'll play again at 3 p.m. against Okanogan, or at 4:30 versus either Tonasket or Brewster, who will have faced each other at 1:30.
